A Determined Suicide.

Some Wallachian peasants were one
day working in the field near the banks
of the Maros. Suddenly they saw q.
stranger rush frantica'ly through the
field, and plunge headlong into the river.
They pursued, and dragged him out,
dripping he departed, and they returned
to their work. Shortly aftcrward he
again appeared, and for the second time
took a suicidal "header." Again the
peasants snatched him from the raging
torrent, and returned to their work. Yet
a third time they saw him enter the field;
but on this occasion he did not make for
the river, but, climbing up tree, deiib-
erately proceeded to hang himself from
one of the branches. This time his for
mer preservers did not interfere, and he
drained the cup of his fate to the last
drop. Presently crowd of the relatives
and friends of the deceased, from whose
custody he had escaped, arrived, headed
by the parish priest, and roundly abused
the peasants for permitting the late Ia
mentcd to kill himself. The peasants
naively replied that they had pulled him
out of the river twice, and as he was
dripping wet, they thought he had hung
himself up to dry.-Ary2nGut.

Lohn Tarhox's Teeth.

Look at the Maine individual over
there in the red flannel shirt which is not
even on speaking terms with soap. You
might not think from casual observa-
tion that he had any peculiarity what
ever, but the other day he came down
with terrible toothache-an ache that
reared, and kicked, and "bucked," all
within thirty seconds, till the world
ceased to have any attraction for the
man who was entertaining it. Well. he
couldn't stand it any longer, and started
post haste for a dentist in a neighbor-
ing town. :
The proprietor of hardware store in
close proximity to this dentist was stand
ing in the door of his store that after
noon. when he heard the most ear
splitting shriek proceeding from the
Office OF the man of teeth. He had be-
come accustomed to moans and subdued
exclamations from that quarter, but
never had heard such bellowings as now
pierccd the air. His curiosity was so
thoroughly aroused that a little later on
he walked into the dentists office, and
said: "Whom have you been butcher
ing over here? l never heard such a
veil in my life."

..that was old John Tarbox, from T.

Excusing O Juror.

The following was perpetrated by a
Judge of one of our higher local courts,
now off the bench, but whose identity
will be instantly discovered by many
LAWYERS without mentioning his name.
On the first Monday of a term many
Jurors were as usual in line before him
t, present reasons for being excused from
service. Among them was a very dirty,
unkempt, shaggy bearded man. who,
DESPITE the efforts of the attendants to
restrain him insisted on advancing to the
Judges desk and speaking privately with
him. The Judge, noticing his impor-
tunity, signifed his willingness to allow
the talesman to approach and then sal d
to him somewhat sternly: "Well, sir;
what is it?" The man leaned over the
bench until his lips almost touched the
Judges ear and then whispered:
"l've got the itch"
The crowded courtroom was watch
ing the result with curiosity. "Mr.
Clerk" said the judge instantly, without
the sli ightest change of expression, and
in a voice painfully loud and distinct: !:
''Mr. Clerk, he's got the itch. Scratch
